"There Is No Recipe": MS Dhoni's Honest Take On Chennai Super Kings' Stellar Playoff Record

There is no secret recipe of leading a team into 12 play-offs in 14 seasons apart from choosing players who believe in "team first philosophy" and a co-operative management that stands through thick and thin, CSK skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni said on Saturday. Dhoni, who is probably playing the last of his 16 IPLs, has batted as low as no.8 and given chances to players like Shivam Dube to excel in a role assigned for him. "There is no recipe as such (CSK's play-offs record). You try to pick the best players and try to give them the best slot. You use them in the manner where they have most chances of succeeding and groom them in the areas where they are not as strong," he said after CSK sealed their play-off berth with massive 77-run win over DC here on Saturday.

Batting first, opener Devon Conway's 87 off only 51 balls and Ruturaj Gaikwad's smashing 79 off 50 deliveries ensured a healthy 223 for 3 CSK. Conway's innings comprised 11 fours and three sixes while Gaikwad hit seven sixes apart from three boundaries as they added 141 for the opening stand. In reply, DC managed only 146 for 9 with skipper David Warner's 86 off 58 balls being the only saving grace.
